Re: And if I already wear normal glasses?
you can write an app that takes a video feed from where you are looking at, and put it right in front of your eyes (hummm, your eye), so you don't need prescription lenses anymore.

leave my SIM alone!!!
I want to be able to use my contract with whatever phone I want, like borrow one if my phone dies, and I want to be able to use my phone in whatever operator I feel like, as in traveling abroad.
Stop this "kill the SIM" nonsense now!

Dart runs 130 per cent faster
"The goal is for Dart to become twice as fast."
If I did the math right, are they trying to slow it down?
Twice as fast is 100% faster...
STOP, because they are going too fast!
If you need to ask, then you can't afford it!
Re: Cookies?
cookies are used to give state to a stateless protocol. Without them you are always a new user reaching the site for the first time ever.
Of course you can avoid using cookies by passing the session variable on the URL, but for the user the consequences, for good and for bad, are the same.
I will call it choice when they give me the same hardware and I can choose which OS I want...

Re: I won't be moving to Skype
I think the biggest problem will be for those using an msn client in their feature phones. There's no upgrade path for them...

Re: Big screen Mistake
I would like to see a modular design like this but, instead of a phone sloting into the tablet, a compute module sloting into a small screen (making it a phone) or a big screen (making it a tablet)
yes, but is it dead or alive?
FRAGMENTATION!!!
Ooops, sorry. That only goes for android...
Why stop for tests?
what will they do if they found some malfunction? take it to the mechanic?
put it in the right place ASAP and then test it with the real subjects of the mission...

Posted in Ten... Satnavs to suit all budgets
Nokia satnav is great, beeing free, and allowing you to pre-download the maps. But, for route planning, it will need a gsm connection and, while abroad, that can be very expensive
That would be foolish
SIMs are great, in the way that you can insert it in whatever phone you want and access your phone service. If Apple had it their way, a software SIM, if your phone dies (battery, water, whatever), what would you need to do to access your phone service?
Re: That's all nice and everything....
I'm not holding my breath either, but because I already have FTTH. I stopped holding it 2 years ago...

The bigger fail is
allowing non latin characters on the domain.
You see a domain printed on some magazine, you want to visit that domain, but you don't have a clue on how to do it.
Of course you can argue that, for example, people living in Russia already had to use latin characters to use the web. But they already do it! And they can reach ALL the internet using them. They can even reach chinese and japanese web sites...
Posted in Toshiba 14in USB LCD Mobile Monitor
"Toshiba expects you to rely on the power coming from your laptop, which is convenient, and fine if you can have it plugged into the mains" - So, you don't want to have the laptop plugged into the mains and, at the same time, you want to do it with the monitor... makes perfect sense!
Posted in Asus pushes Prime pre-orders
It's a shame...
..that they opted to make the keyboard incompatible with the previous model.
So, if I buy one of these (and I'm really thinking about it), will I have to throw the keyboard out, when I decide to upgrade to the next model? It really makes no sense (other than Asus wanting to sell another keyboard)
they should only assign a new major version when the code changes break extension's compatibility
Nop, it means that if that sattelite comes down 2000 times, 1 of those times it will hit someone
If you really need it, you can emulate a one level menu system, using lists inside each launcher item:

dual core CPUs
They are perfect to Atrix-like setups. I would love to see a standard comming up so that I could buy such a screen + keyboard combo, and use it with whatever smartphone I happen to be using at that time. Upgrade the phone, keep the screen + keyboard. Maybe any phone with an HDMI port and an USB port could be made to work with it...

hydro power
if your water is supplied using a reservoir at higher ground, you already have all the power stored there. To not use it is just like getting water down from a dam without generating electicity using turbines: you are just spoiling it! The only downside is less pressure on your tap.
Android
I can see Google getting into this. They have already side-stepped JVM, now they just need another language to say goodbye to Oracle
I don't understant what the problem is
Google only released WebM when they felt the code was good enough for public eyes, and they will do the same, as they should, for new versions of Android. They never said that Android development was going to be community driven...
if you want, you can take Android 2.3 and fork it...
not that bad
At least it relates to the cloud, their target audience..

Atrix concept
I prefer the concept adopted by motorola. I just wish someone would create a standard way for doing it, so we could by a standard dock and connect any Android phone to it. That would also make our dock survive the phone upgrade process...
Posted in WTF is... cloud gaming?
not the same
the adaptor won't need an upgrade, as will PS3/XBOX when they decide that you need a new console...
Certification
Google should start a certification program, where developers would pay a fee to see their apps reviewed and certified as "not malware".
People would still be able to install whatever app they choose, but if it is not certified, they would know that they are on their own.
earth spins what?
it is now proved that earth orbits the sun, so let's use it as our reference...
if the sun rises first in europe and then in the US, that means that earth is rotating towards east and, as so, anything that goes up say, in Florida, after awhile will be on top of California...

BS
Not really comparable, is it?
The moon doesn't have a sea level to measure it against. If our planet had just half the water, the everest would be higher than it is now...
So what?
iPad 2 will be an hardware device, GingerBread will be an operating system.
That is like bitching Win 7 (or whatever OS) saying: "Oh, but apple is already going to deliver the new Mac Air 2!".
Get a grip...
Posted in Microsoft's fear of an OpenOffice
Excel Macros
When OpenOffice get that right (make sure that Excel Macros run flawlessly), then OpenOffice will have a chance on getting market share from MsOffice.
I, for one, don't use MsOffice from many years now, but I don't need to run Macros on my xls docs. For people that do need it, it's a deal breaker.
Actually, that's all they should be working on! Then they can start improving on other areas...
Android App Market
If there is no 3G, there is no App Market access...
That is why you are not going to see such devices coming out from good brands. Who is going to buy an Android Pad without being able to go to the App Market? not me, for sure.

Posted in Google open sources $124.6m video codec
not really
"it's already game over and irevellent what Apple want or do."
Apple started this by not allowing Flash on iPad/iPod/iPhone. They want html5 only, and they enforce it by not allowing other browsers. In the same way, if they don't want it, they will never allow the VP8 codec inside those devices.
On the other hand, who cares...
